Whether you have a startup idea or need a custom tool for your business, we'll take it from the first sketch to launch.

Franz was amazing to work with. He clearly communicated the possibilities of building my website and was patient with me during my multiple changes. I was very new to building a website and he guided me every step of the way. His team was quick to make changes that I requested and he would consistently follow up for my feedback. I am trusting my future website needs to Franz and his team.

Market Fresh Studios / Franz & Jonathon were great to work with and did an excellent job creating our website: https://belmontrugs.com
Our project ended up exceeding the original scope in terms of both development and content, but they ended up completing it and delivering a tremendous end result.
I would recommend MarketFresh Studios for any website development project. I have learned they also have a great knowledge, understanding and customer base on the marketing side of the business which I'm starting to delve into with them.
Details: New website • E-commerce site with payments • What the web designer recommends • Customer provides most content • Within 2 weeks • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc. • Remotely (phone or internet)

The team at MarketFresh Studios did a great job redesigning my website. They walk you through what they are doing and allow good discussion to make sure they are developing what you want. The most important thing they do is bring their experience of successful websites and help you design your site to be the best in class.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We love meeting and working with new people!
Our first step is to learn as much about your business and your goals as possible. We want to make sure we're on the same page as far as design style and content as well.
For our initial meeting we can either meet in person (if you're in the Charlotte area), or have a phone call - whichever you're most comfortable with. If your schedule doesn't allow for either of those we can communicate via email and send you an online questionnaire to fill out.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been a designer/web developer for over 15 years.
I received a B.A. in Digital Media: Internet & Interactive Systems in 2003.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I starting down the design path by launching my own surf/skate clothing company. The creative freedom of branding and marketing my own business made me fall in love with design. Soon after I began designing for other small business and it has snowballed from there.
